We took a cab back to the hotel and picked up the flat of beer that we left there and decided to hop in my buddy's 1976 Honda Civic (like a Mr. Bean car). We proceeded to drink said beer and thought it would be a great idea to break into the hot springs and go for a swim. So we scaled down this rocky slope to get there and went for our swim into the springs. It was probably about 4 in the morning at this point. We heard some security guards coming so we proceeded to throw our clothes back on and run up the slope. We all made it up to the car just as the security guards found us. We hoped into the car and took off. We ripped through Banff and up some mountain as we were sure the cops would be out looking for us after that. So we stayed up on the mountain for a few minutes. My buddy Kasey who was driving decided it would be a good idea to rally race down the mountain while on our way back to the hotel. So we proceed to fly down the road and he's going about 70kmph when we hit this thing that we later found out is called suicide corner. We were drifting like something feirce. The only thing is we ran out of road and fell off the edge of a cliff. Thankfully we got caught about 10 feet down the embankment on two tiny trees. These trees held us up while we all bolted out of the car. We all climbed to the top of the cliff (about an 75 degree incline) and got back onto the road. If it wasn't for those two tiny trees we would have had a 200 foot free fall into some trees then into the bow river. I still thank my lucky stars that I didn't die that day. Since then I won't get into the car with a drunk driver.
Oh yeah it took 4 tow trucks to get the car back up onto the road. We got a call at like 10 in the morning from my buddy's dad who said the RCMP had called him wondering about a car that was off the edge of a cliff (they ran his tags and called his parents house phone).

Funny part is that if you'd pulled tail from Aurora you'd probably be in the midst of some sort of STD related death so really you dodged a bullet by choosing to drive off a cliff instead.
